Peanut oil

It's weird how castor wi stay in solution and peanut wi no.

I feel like I read that nitro helps keep oil/methanol mixed. No guarantee this is fact...just something I *think* I read along the way.

One of the unique properties of caster oil is it will mix with alcohol and not separate. Alcohol in gasoline will separate in a few months, add humidity and it gets worse. It’s called phase separation and is a problem down here.

Ad gaz Line antifreeze it help Against the separation several brands of fuel use additives easy to measure their actual percentage easy add a little water this work wit gaz Take a graduated container with measurements of Gas then add water Measure the water beforehand Alcohol with additives separates with water It’s called phase separation After the excess that appears in the water mixture is the percentage of additive wit diesel its Difrent They are different additive To prevent against mold

Is there something else besides methanol in gas line antifreeze? I thought it was mostly methanol (or ethanol) that abosrbs the water in the fuel, and then mixes with the fuel?

I thought that is how "alcohol" holds water in suspension in fuels...well, until it can no longer absorb water, and that is what I understand is the "phase" issue causing alcohol to drop out of fuel.

Aspeed, I've seen your work on RCG's 1/2A forum. So I'll take what you indicate as coming from someone well versed in glow fuels and hotrodding these little engines. Please continue and share your experiences here.

CB, now that you mention it, maybe that is the component that I was thinking about...castor readily mixing with methanol, and thus is the carrier/emulsifier for synthetic oil in methanol.

Since Castor works so well and is still readily available, what seems to be the problem? Even if forced to use an alternative to Castor, I think I'd take my chances with full synth before dabbling in using cooking oils.
